And seven days passed
The phrase "seven days" is significant in the biblical context, often symbolizing completeness or divine perfection. The number seven is frequently used throughout Scripture, from the creation week in Genesis to the seven churches in Revelation. In this context, the seven days may represent a complete period of judgment or a full cycle of divine patience before the next plague. Historically, this period allowed the Egyptians to experience the full impact of the Nile's transformation, emphasizing the severity of God's judgment and the need for repentance.

after the LORD had struck
The word "struck" is derived from the Hebrew root "נָכָה" (nakah), which means to smite or to inflict a blow. This action underscores the direct intervention of the LORD, Yahweh, in the affairs of Egypt. It is a demonstration of His power over creation and the false gods of Egypt, particularly the Nile, which was worshiped as a deity. The use of "struck" conveys the intensity and decisiveness of God's actions against Pharaoh's hardened heart, serving as a divine warning and a call to acknowledge His sovereignty.

the Nile
The Nile River was the lifeblood of Egypt, central to its agriculture, economy, and daily life. It was revered as a god, Hapi, and its annual flooding was crucial for sustaining the land. By striking the Nile, God directly challenged the Egyptian pantheon and demonstrated His supremacy over their gods. This act was not only a physical blow to Egypt's resources but also a spiritual confrontation, revealing the impotence of their deities and the futility of their reliance on them. Theologically, it serves as a reminder of God's ultimate authority over all creation and His ability to disrupt the natural order to fulfill His purposes.

(25) And seven days were fulfilled.--These words seem to mark the duration of the first plague, which was the longer because Pharaoh made no submission at all in consequence of it. Obtaining sufficient water for his own purposes (see the comment on Exodus 7:23), he thought little of its continuance.

Verse 25. - And seven days were fulfilled. This note of time has been regarded as merely fixing the interval between the first plague and the second. But it is more natural to regard it as marking the duration of the first plague. The intervals between one plague and another are nowhere estimated.
